Chapter 11: Welcome Avalanche

Over at the Brotherhood's boarding house Todd, Pietro, Fred and Lance were coming home from their day out. Lance pulled his jeep in the driveway and all four mutants got out and headed inside.

When they got inside Pietro ran with his super speed to the couch and turned on the TV, Fred went to the kitchen to get something to eat and Todd leapt on the edge of the couch and watched TV as well.

Lance sighed he was personally getting sick of the brotherhood and how predictable they were he also hated the fact that he always had to report to the evil boss lady whenever there was a new student at Xavier's.

"why can't she like figure it out her self she is the bloody principle for crying out loud" he thought "they all enrol at the school" he was seriously thinking of going to join the X-Men at least he would be able to talk to Kitty without getting scowled about it.

Lance walked up to a door at the end of the corridor and knocked. He waited for about a minute then the door was answered by a blue skinned woman with red hair and yellow eyes, she wore a skimpy black skirt and shirt. She looked at him and scowled.

"What do you want Lance?" she snapped

"Another good reason to leave" he thought bitterly "I just thought you would like to know there is a new X-geek Mystique?"

"Really? Come in and explain" she said moving aside so he can enter. He sat on the sofa in the room and looked at the blue lady "So what did he look like?"

"She, goth, brownish hair, two white strips, goes by Rogue" He said bluntly

"Do you know her power?" She asked and Lance shook his head "WHY DON'T YOU? YOU MORON" she yelled

"We were in the middle of the mall" He said

"FINE" she said "but we will find out, we are going to cause a disturbance downtown" Lance nodded "Good, now go get the others ready"

Lance got up and left the room closing the door behind him, he sighed and went down stairs to round up the gang. He walked into the lounge room

"Okay guys we got us a mission. We are going to create a disturbance downtown and hopefully the X-geeks show up so Mystique can see what the new girl's powers are" Lance said

Pietro got up and zipped upstairs and was back changed into his uniform before the others had even moved

"Well-what-are-you-waiting-for-slow-pokes?" Pietro asked while grinning

Fred, Todd and Lance went upstairs and got changed a couple of minutes later they came back down in their uniforms as well. Mystique came down shortly after the boys and they all went out to Lances jeep and got in, they then drove off to their destination

Meanwhile back at the mansion Rogue was sitting on her bed reading her book when there was a soft knock at the door

"Yeah" She yelled out

"Its me child, can I come in?" Came Ororo's voice

"Yeah sure, its unlocked" she replied

Ororo walked in and over to her bed carrying two boxes, she put the boxes on the bed and sat down

"Whats up Stormy" Rogue asked looking up from her book

"How do you like it here" Ororo asked

"Great tha people here are nahce" she said

"Have you managed to speak to everyone yet"

"Na, not tha guy wif tha red shades an' tha red head or anay of tha other instructors apart from ya an' tha professor"

"So how do you like the ones you have met?"

"Okay ah guess" Rogue said "Ah mean Kittay's great an all but shes ta perkay ya know wot a mean?" Ororo nods with a smile "Kurt an' Evan seem nahce ah onlay have talk ta em fer a bit" she pauses and looks at Ororo "So wot reallay brings ya here?"

Ororo giggled "You never miss a beat do you child?" Rogue shook her head "Okay I just wanted to give you these" Ororo said pushing the boxes to the girl "Go on open them up"

Rogue opened the larger of the boxes first to find a pair of grey knee high boots, confused she looked up at storm who motioned her to open the other box. Rogue reached for the smaller of the two boxes and opened it to find a black and emerald green body suit with two shoulder pads with X's on them, a belt and a pair of brown gloves

"Thanks Stormy"

"No problem child, now come and lets go call your parents hey?" Rogue hesitated then nodded

They got up and headed for the door when

Please change into your uniforms and meet by the X-Van immediately the professor said telepathically

"Looks like that call will have to wait" Ororo said "Now go try on the uniform okay" Rogue nodded and went into room and started to get ready a couple of seconds later Kitty phased through the door, grabbed her uniform and started to put it on. About five minutes Kitty turned around to see Rogue dressed in a uniform and slipping on some gloves

"Wow like cool uniform" Kitty stated "Well lets like go" she said as she grabbed Rogues gloved hand and phased them all the way to the garage where they met the rest of the team all suited up

"Okay now that we are all here lets get started shall we" Xavier said "The Brotherhood are causing quite a disturbance downtown we are to stop their activities before anyone gets hurt understand?" All the X-Men nod

"In the jeep" Logan said all the mutants except the professor get in the van

Half way there Scott decides to give out the assignments

"Storm you are to give us some cover, Nightcrawler you are to look out in case someone needs to get out of there okay" both nod

------

Toad was sitting on a trashcan, catching flies while Blob was smashing things, Quicksilver was running around causing mini tornados. Avalanche was leaning up against the wall-watching Mystique pace impatiently.

Suddenly the sky became covered in heavy fog announcing the X-Men's arrival. There was a stretch of tires and a black van pulled up and out stepped nine people. Mystique was glad to see the new recruit there as well.

The boys stopped what they were doing and looked at the group of people standing there. Lance sent a tremor knocking all the X-Men down apart from Jean who flew into the sky, Wolverine who stood his ground and Beast who used his agility to dodge the attack. The rest of the brotherhood ran forward and started to take on the X-Men.

Nightcrawler teleported to the roof of the van so he can keep an eye on his team. Beast and Jean were taking on Blob, Shadowcat and Spyke were fighting Quicksilver, Wolverine was after Mystique his so called loving mother and Rogue and Cyclops were taking out Toad. Avalanche was sending tremors every so often not really fighting.

Beast was dodging all of Blobs punches and Jean was telekeneticaly throwing things at him. Jean threw a dumpster at him and it hit him on the back, he turned around enraged and grabbed Jean and threw her into a wall but before she hit it Nightcrawler grabbed her and ported her near the van.

"You alvright?" Nightcrawler asked, Jean nods

"Thanks" she says and goes back to help Beast who was still dodging Blobs punches.

Meanwhile Cyclops was shooting his blasts consonantly at Toad, who kept hopping out of the way of them, Rogue was sneaking around behind him, and she took off her gloves and threw them to the ground. Cyclops stoped firing at Toad so he would stay still and started to provoke him

"Is that all you got?"

"Hey who is winning here yo?"

"Surly not you slime ball" Cyclops said with a grin

"What is there to smile about? You haven't even hit me ye…" Toad said but trailed off as Rogue touched his cheek

"Good work" Cyclops said coming up to her and Toad. He looked at her and she was resting a hand on her forehead with her eyes closed "Hey you okay" he asked concerned she nods

"Yeah, jus' some horrible memories dere" she replied

"Okay. Let's go help the others" Cyclops said and she nodded as he ran to help Shadowcat and Spyke while she hopped to help Jean and Beast

Noticing what the girl did Mystique smirked 'Oh yeah I like her power, It could be useful' she thought as she dodged an attack from Wolverine. Faking a panicked look she yelled for the Brotherhood to retreat. Quicksilver grabbed Toad and they all jumped in the jeep and drove off.

The X-Men got into there Van and went back to the mansion. Once they got there the students went up to their rooms except for Scott and Jean they had to cook dinner.

Kitty was using her laptop and Rogue was reading her book, both were on their beds doing so.

Down the hall Kurt and Evan were in Kurt's room planning to scare the girls.

About five minutes later Kurt ported Evan into the girls room causing both girls to jump slightly and glare at them

"KURT" they both yell together

"Can't you like knock" Kitty said angrily

"Sorry could not resist" Kurt apologised

"So like what do you guys like want anyway?" Kitty asked

"Nothing man just to talk you know" Evan said

"Ja" Kurt chimed in "So vhat do you vhink zee brotherhood was up to tonight?"

"Don't know man it seemed to easy" Evan said

"Like maybe your mommy wanted to like see you Kurt" Kitty teased Evan laughed and Kurt Scowled

"WAIT!" Rogue yelled "Your mamma's a brotherhooda?" Kurt nodded "Whoa, an' your on dis side wotcha Mamma say bout dat?"

"She don't" Kurt said firmly "She dropped me in a river when I vas a baby cause she didn't vant me"

"Oh sorray" Rogue apologised

"It's alvright im so over it" Kurt said "I mean it vas quite a shock vhen I found out but I have a nice family in Germany. vho needs her anyvays"

"So what are like your parents like Rogue" Kitty asked

"Nahce" Rogue replied not really wanting to get into her life story with them "Wot yours lahke?"

"Great" Kitty said cheerfully "My mom is like the greatest and daddy is like totally strict but he is like cool"

"Cool" Rogue replied

Rogue was about to ask about Evans parents when

Dinners ready Jean said telepathically

So they all got up and went down to the Dining area and had dinner

-----

Meanwhile at the brotherhood house, Pietro, Mystique, Lance and Fred was having a meeting in the lounge room while Todd was up in his room still unconscious from the battle.

"Is Todd going to be ok?" asked Fred

"I don't know" Mystique added "If we can get the girl on our side we might be able to beat the X-Men for once"

"Yeah-that-would-be-good-for-once" Pietro said

"Lance I want you to try and tur…" Mystique said getting cut off

"Why are you even bothering? You know she won't turn willingly" Lance said getting glances from all in the room

"WELL THEN MAKE HER YOU MORON" Mystique yelled

"Why don't you like make her, im outta here" Lance said going upstairs.

When up in his room he grabbed his duffle bag and filled it with his belongings and went out his window. Once outside he got in his jeep and drove away

-----

Professor Xavier was in the sitting room, all of his students had gone to bed since there was school tomorrow. He wheeled out into the foyer and past the front door when some knocked on it. He turned and faced the door and checked mentally who was there before sighing and going to the door and opening it.

"Mr Alvers come in" Xavier said as the boy entered and dropped his duffle bag "How may I help you Lance?"

"I left the brotherhood sir"

"I see" Xavier said "Then you wont mind me checking to make sure you are not lying" Lance shook his head

"Of corse not"

Xavier led Lance to the sitting room then placed his hands on either side of his head.

About five minutes later Xavier left Lance's head sure that he had indeed left the brotherhood and is here to fight the good fight. He looked at Lance and smiled

"Welcome to the X-Men" He said and Lance smiled back "Come to my office in the morning and I will enrol you, but in the meantime let's go get you settled in shall we?" Lance nods

They both leave the sitting room and Xavier leads him to his room.
